The cost of the course is relatively cheap as well usually about 450 which isnt bad value and its been accredited by IOSH so it can go on your CV
. There are no prerequisites for entry just a basic understanding of english and maths, you can go onto t he NEBOSH general certificate after this course and perhaps the Diploma if you feel you ahve a couple of years to put aside for studying. This sounds a lot but it'll be worth it in the long run as chartered status beckons on achieving the diploma and the assocaited criteria i.e experience that goes with this.
